Who It Helps
Who Is A Quick Accessibility Audit For?
Our quick accessibility audit is built for small sites that reuse a few templates. We test up to 5 key pages by hand with a keyboard and screen readers, add automated scans, and give you a fixed $500 price before we start. Bigger or more complex sites usually need the Complete Accessibility Audit. See what you receive in our sample audit report.
-
Small Businesses And Local Services
Company sites, clinics, law offices, trades and restaurants with a few key pages: home, services, location and a quote or contact form.
-
Startups And New Product Sites
MVPs, landing pages and early marketing sites that need a professional WCAG 2.2 check before launch, a funding round or a first enterprise deal.
-
Nonprofits And Community Groups
Donation pages, campaign pages, volunteer forms and program information that everyone in your community should be able to use.
-
Schools And Education Providers
Small school, program and admissions sites with parent resources and forms, checked against WCAG 2.2 AA with real keyboard and screen reader tests.
-
Marketing And Lead Generation Sites
Campaign pages, lead forms, downloadable resources and reusable templates, where one fixed component improves every page that uses it.
-
Teams Responding To A Complaint
Received an accessibility complaint or demand letter? A quick audit shows where the main barriers are. For legal matters, see ADA lawsuit remediation and work with your attorney.
Audit Scope
What Your $500 Quick Accessibility Audit Includes
We test up to 5 page templates that represent your site, usually your homepage, a content page such as About, your contact page, one service or product page and your main form. We also check the header, navigation, footer and other shared parts those pages reuse, so one fix improves every page that uses them.
Each template gets an automated scan plus manual checks against WCAG 2.2 Level A and AA with a keyboard and screen readers. You receive a top-10 issues report and a 30-minute review call for a fixed $500, agreed in writing before work starts. See the format in our sample audit report, or compare audit pricing if you need more than 5 templates or a re-test.
-
Up To 5 Key Templates
Homepage, a content page, contact page, a service or product page and your primary form, agreed with you before we start.
-
Shared Components
Header, navigation, menus, footer, buttons and cards, checked once because they affect every page that uses them.
-
Keyboard And Screen Reader Checks
Focus order, menus, forms and dialogs tested by keyboard, and key content and controls tested with a screen reader.
-
Automated Scan And Contrast Review
Automated tools catch detectable issues such as missing labels and markup errors, and we confirm text and UI contrast by hand.
-
Top-10 Issues Report
The most important barriers ranked by severity, each mapped to a WCAG 2.2 success criterion with screenshots and fix guidance.

We walk you and your developer through the findings, answer questions and agree what to fix first.
Quick Answer
Accessibility Service Summary
A quick accessibility audit is a streamlined professional review of a website against WCAG 2.2 requirements (see also the W3C WAI WCAG overview). Instead of auditing every page, representative page templates and key user journeys are evaluated using automated tools and manual accessibility testing. This approach provides actionable findings at a lower cost while maintaining meaningful coverage. Sampling representative templates is a common approach for sites with repeated layouts.
This service is designed for small websites that need useful accessibility findings without enterprise audit pricing. We focus on representative templates, shared components, key forms, navigation, and common user barriers so you can understand your biggest accessibility risks and fix the highest-impact issues first.
- Affordable accessibility audits starting from $500 for small websites
- Manual WCAG 2.2 testing plus automated accessibility scanning
- Screen reader, keyboard, forms, contrast, headings, links, and ARIA review
- Developer-ready findings with practical remediation guidance

Issues Identified
Accessibility Issues We Identify
The WebAIM Million 2026 found low contrast text on 83.9% of top home pages, missing image alt text on 53.1% and missing form labels on 51%. We check those first on every Quick Audit, then test what scanners miss.
Keyboard Navigation Problems
We check whether users can reach and operate menus, links, buttons, forms, widgets, and page controls without a mouse.
Color Contrast Failures
We review text, buttons, links, icons, form states, and visual UI elements that may not meet contrast requirements.
Form Accessibility
We identify missing labels, unclear instructions, inaccessible errors, required-field issues, poor focus order, and screen reader problems in forms.
Heading Structure
We review heading order, page outline, skipped levels, missing headings, duplicate headings, and structure that affects screen reader navigation.
Accessible Links
We check vague link text, repeated calls to action, empty links, icon-only links, broken accessible names, and links that need clearer purpose.
Tables
We identify table header, scope, caption, structure, and responsive table issues on pages that include tabular data.
Images
We review informative images, decorative images, image links, text inside images, charts, icons, and marketing graphics for accessibility impact.
Focus Visibility
We check whether keyboard users can clearly see where focus is on navigation, buttons, links, form controls, and interactive elements.
ARIA Issues
We identify ARIA misuse, missing accessible names, invalid roles, incorrect states, and cases where native HTML would be safer.
Responsive Accessibility
We test representative responsive behavior for mobile menus, zoom, reflow, touch targets, hidden content, and layout changes.

Standards And Compliance Context
Standards, Assistive Technologies, And Tools
WCAG 2.2 (Level A & AA)
Primary test baseline for every quick accessibility audit. Findings map to WCAG 2.2 Level A & AA; teams can also use the W3C WAI WCAG overview for the official criteria list.
ADA Title III (US)
Relevant when US public-accommodation or customer-complaint risk is part of the ask. Context: ADA.gov web guidance on accessible web content and apps. A quick audit helps surface WCAG issues that may affect ADA risk; it is not legal advice.
Section 508 (US)
Relevant for public-sector buyers and federal vendors who need ICT accessibility awareness. See Section508.gov laws and policies and the U.S. Access Board ICT Standards. Deeper 508 / VPAT work is a separate service.
EN 301 549 / European Accessibility Act
Relevant if you serve EU customers or fall under the European Accessibility Act. Primary text: Directive (EU) 2019/882 on EUR-Lex; practical overview via the AccessibleEU centre.
IAAP-Aligned Specialist Testing
Audits are performed by experienced accessibility specialists and led by our founder (IAAP CPWA, CPACC and WAS), combining automation with manual review — not an overlay widget or scan-only PDF.
ADA Title II (US Public Entities)
Relevant for public schools, colleges, libraries and local agencies. The ADA Title II web rule requires WCAG 2.1 Level AA by April 26, 2027 for entities serving 50,000 or more people, and by April 26, 2028 for smaller ones and special district governments. A Quick Audit is a good first look; larger public sites usually need a Complete Audit.

Quick Accessibility Audit FAQs
Frequently Asked Questions
Answers to common questions about $500 accessibility audits, manual testing, page limits, WCAG recommendations, ADA audit cost, upgrades, and what is included.
Is a $500 accessibility audit manual or automated?
It includes both automated accessibility scanning and expert manual testing. Automated tools help identify detectable issues, while manual review finds real barriers that tools often miss.
How many pages are included?
The Quick Audit is designed for up to 5 representative pages, such as a homepage, about page, contact page, service or product page, primary form, navigation, footer, and shared components.
Can you audit more than five pages?
Yes. The Complete Accessibility Audit is $2,000 for up to 25 page templates or key user flows, with a full manual audit and a re-test of fixed issues. For anything larger, ask for a free needs assessment and we reply with a scope and a fixed price within 2 business days.
Will I receive WCAG recommendations?
Yes. Findings include practical recommendations mapped to relevant WCAG 2.2 accessibility expectations where applicable.
Can you fix the issues you identify?
Yes. HalfAccessible can provide remediation services after the audit, or your developer can use the report to fix issues internally.
Do you test with screen readers?
Yes. The audit includes screen reader validation for key page structure, navigation, forms, links, and important interactions where appropriate.
Is this suitable for ADA compliance?
The audit can help identify WCAG accessibility issues that may affect ADA risk, but legal compliance depends on your organization, jurisdiction, and broader accessibility program.
Is this enough for government procurement?
Usually no. Government procurement often requires deeper audit coverage, VPAT or ACR documentation, Section 508 review, and broader validation. We offer separate services for that.
Can I upgrade later?
Yes. You can upgrade to a standard audit, remediation support, monitoring, or VPAT documentation if your needs grow.
How long does the audit take?
Timing depends on our current schedule and your site. When you send the Quick Audit request form, we confirm the scope and a delivery date before work starts, and the Quick Audit is built to be delivered faster than a Complete Audit.
Which browsers and assistive technologies do you test with?
Testing depends on scope, but may include modern browsers, keyboard-only navigation, screen reader validation, automated tools, and browser accessibility inspection.
What types of websites are best for this audit?
It is best for small business websites, startup landing pages, nonprofit websites, small school sites, local business websites, and marketing websites with reusable templates.
What is not included in the $500 audit?
Enterprise portals, native mobile apps, large SaaS platforms, 100+ page websites, government procurement documentation, VPAT preparation, and large PDF libraries are not included.
Do you audit every page on my website?
No. This audit reviews representative templates and key components instead of every page, which keeps the cost affordable while still producing meaningful findings.
Why is this audit affordable?
The audit is affordable because it focuses on representative templates, shared components, and small website scopes rather than every page or complex enterprise workflows.
Is this only an automated scan?
No. Automated scans are included, but the audit also includes manual WCAG review, keyboard testing, screen reader validation, and developer recommendations.
Will I receive a report?
Yes. You receive an accessibility report with issues, priorities, screenshots or references, WCAG mapping, and remediation guidance.
Do you include a consultation?
Yes. Every Quick Audit includes a 30-minute findings review call so you understand the highest-impact issues and next steps. That call is part of the $500 audit and is separate from our free 30-minute first call and the $100 one-hour technical consultation.
Can agencies use this for client websites?
Yes. Digital agencies can use this audit for small client websites, pre-launch checks, or accessibility discovery work. For repeat client work under your own brand, see our white label website accessibility services for agencies.
Can you audit WordPress websites?
Yes. We can audit WordPress websites, including themes, navigation, forms, content templates, plugins, and shared components.
Can you audit Shopify or ecommerce websites?
Yes, for small representative scopes such as a home page, a product page and the cart. Larger stores usually need the Shopify Accessibility Audit ($2,000), which covers the theme, apps, product variants, filters, accounts and checkout.
Does the audit include PDFs?
Large PDF libraries are not included in the $500 audit. PDF accessibility can be handled through our PDF document remediation service.
Does the audit include retesting?
Retesting is optional. We can quote retesting after your team fixes the issues or include it in a larger audit package.
Can I use the report for my developer?
Yes. The report is written to be developer-friendly, with clear issue descriptions, impact, priority, WCAG mapping, and remediation guidance.
How do I start the $500 audit?
Fill in the short form on the Start Your Quick Audit page with your website URL and any pages or flows you especially want checked, and tell us if you have an existing complaint or demand letter. We confirm whether your site fits the Quick Audit scope or recommend a different package.
How much does an accessibility audit cost?
Our prices are fixed and published. The Quick Accessibility Audit is $500 for up to 5 page templates. The Complete Accessibility Audit is $2,000 for up to 25 templates or key user flows, the Shopify Accessibility Audit is $2,000, and a 1-hour technical accessibility consultation (audit walkthrough, developer Q&A or live issue review) is $100. First conversations are a free 30-minute call. Compare every package on our pricing page, or read our accessibility audit cost guide to see what drives the price.
What is the difference between the Quick Audit and the Complete Audit?
The $500 Quick Audit covers up to 5 page templates with automated and manual spot checks, a top-10 issues report, WCAG 2.2 mapping and a 30-minute review call. The $2,000 Complete Audit covers up to 25 templates or key user flows with a full manual audit in JAWS, NVDA, VoiceOver and keyboard, a severity-ranked report, a re-test of fixed issues, an accessibility statement draft and 90 days of support.
Is a quick accessibility audit enough after an ADA demand letter?
It is a fast first step: it shows your biggest barriers on the pages that matter most. A demand letter usually needs the named barriers fixed and documented, so see our ADA lawsuit remediation service, and work with your attorney. We do not give legal advice.
Does a Quick Audit help schools and local governments with ADA Title II?
Yes, as a first look. The ADA Title II web rule requires WCAG 2.1 Level AA by April 26, 2027 for state and local governments serving 50,000 or more people, and by April 26, 2028 for smaller ones. We test against WCAG 2.2 Level AA, and content that conforms to WCAG 2.2 also conforms to WCAG 2.1. Most public entities have more than 5 templates, so use our government accessibility audit request for a full scope.
Can I see a sample report before I buy?
Yes. Our sample audit report shows how findings are written, with WCAG references, severity, screenshots and fix guidance for developers.
Should I start with the free 30-minute call or the $100 consultation?
Start with the free 30-minute call if this is your first conversation with us: we learn where your site stands, scope the project and give you a quote. Book the $100 one-hour consultation if your team needs technical answers now, such as walking through an existing audit, talking with your developer or reviewing site issues live. If you already know you have up to 5 key templates, go straight to the Quick Audit request form.
Can I check my website for free before ordering a Quick Audit?
Yes. AccessibilityScore.in, our free tool, runs a WCAG accessibility scan powered by axe-core and gives you a website accessibility score with issue-level remediation guidance. Treat it as a starting point: automated tools cannot detect every WCAG failure, so the Quick Audit adds manual keyboard and screen reader testing on up to 5 page templates and a prioritized report mapped to WCAG 2.2.
Can a small business get an accessibility audit for under $500?
Our lowest-priced audit with a written report is the $500 Quick Audit, a fixed price for up to 5 page templates. If budget is tight, start with the free 30-minute call to see which first step makes sense, or book the $100 one-hour consultation for a live technical session with a specialist. Free automated scanners are useful for a first look, but they miss barriers that only manual testing finds. Compare every package on our accessibility audit pricing page.
What should I prepare before my Quick Audit starts?
Send your website URL and the up to 5 page templates or key flows that matter most, such as your home page, a service or product page, contact page and main form. Add test login details if a form or account area needs them, your launch or legal deadline, and any accessibility complaint or ADA demand letter you have received. Everything goes in the Quick Audit request form, and we confirm the scope and a delivery date before work starts.
What happens after I receive my Quick Audit report?
We walk you through the top findings on the 30-minute review call included in the audit. Your developer can then fix issues using the WCAG 2.2-mapped report, or we can quote accessibility remediation and an optional retest. If your developer wants a live technical working session on specific fixes, book the $100 one-hour consultation. If the audit shows wider problems, you can move up to the $2,000 Complete Audit for up to 25 templates or key user flows.
